i love painting on fabric mostly and other surfaces to see what i am thinking about ... designing, arting, quilting,composing a day or a project and otherwise being curious in the wide world. i am attempting to make grateful sense of a beautiful and mysterious place called earth between sunsets with joy and hopefully grace.

Lovely photos! I missed a few of your posts somehow... I'm glad you had another successful festival and can understand why you need to recharge your batteries in the aftermath. Also, I'm very sorry about Noodles. Pets are such wonderful friends and companions.

About Me

I love color and fabric and going "what if I... " and then seeing where that leads me.i make art out of ideas and paint and fabric mostly and what ever else comes across my path.I Photograph what is in my world helps to explain what i see to myself and others through my art of collaging, quilting, figuratives, postcards and art that mails, and other inventions. Everyday is an adventure if viewed through fresh eyes!

"Art is lunging forward without certainty about where you are going or how to get there, being open to and dependent on what luck, the paint, the typo, the dissonance, give you. Without art you're stuck with yourself as you are and life as you think life is." Mark Vonnegut

Life isn't about finding yourself.Life is about creating yourself.George Bernard Shaw

"Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone elsedecide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. Whilethey are deciding, make even more art." Andy Warhol

"It could be argued that creativity is a form of prayer, a form of thankfulness and recognition of all we have to be thankful for, walking in this world." Julia Cameron

"What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit" John Updike

Instructions for living a life:Pay attention.Be astonished.Tell about it.

"The cure for boredom is curiosity.There is no cure for curiosity."

Dorothy Parker

"PAINT WHAT YOUR EYE CAN SEE AND GIVE IT A SOUL, YOUR SOUL, AND LET NOT THE ONLOOKERS MAKE JUDGEMENT ..... FILL YOUR MIND WITH THE WIND AND THE AIR AND COLORS OF EVERYTHING KNOWN TO MAN AND ANIMAL ALIKE."
